I highly recommend Rachel for your interior design project! She was a joy to work with, always professional, she worked within my budget and when decisions and changes needed to be made, we worked together. It was fun to see how things evolved from the beginning of my project to the end, I finished with a much better result than what I had originally planned, because of Rachel. Her ideas and advice were solid. My husband, who basically began with, "let's just get a few pieces of new furniture, we don't need anything else" ended with, "I never knew a master suite could be an inviting, peaceful oasis

Working with Rachel was a like having our own HGTV dream come true! She was professional, friendly and fun from day one. We felt like she got to know us on a personal level, which helped make her designs and the end results EXACTLY what we were hoping for. She was willing to help us with our lake cottage renovation when others told us the project was either too small or too complicated for our budget.
There were a lot of challenges with our space: odd layouts, crooked walls, and limited seasonal access. Rachel took all of these in stride and worked within her network of talented builders and craftspeople
